Hey team,
I put together a keyboard hotkey to mute and unmute myself during Skype calls using Alfred even when Skype is running in the background.
Hotkey: Control + Shift + \
Screenshot:
You can easily modify the hotkey to another combination of keys if you wish.

Kudos to FroZen_X for what this workflow is based on:

Hi!
I just discovered this terminal application: https://hyper.is/
I find it appealing and I would like to change the default Alfred behaviour to this app.
For example when I browse för files in Alfred and press "Open Terminal Here".
This seems to be editable in settings but I'm not sure what to write in the AppleScript section.
See this little video to understand more what I want to achieve:

Hello everyone,
it would be pretty cool if it would be possible to select multiple Files, Clips or whatever from the Clipboard history and paste it.
For instance:
I would have copied a few files and wanna paste them. Here is an example:
If i could now just press Shift+Arrow down to select multiple items and then just paste them that would be awesome
If there is another way then lemme know, but else this would be decent to have.
Another addition to that would be the ability to change the Shortcut for adding files to the file buffer. Something like
⌘+C and ⌘+V would make the file Buffer/Navigation even better
Cheers,

Hi,
First, I have looked but found nothing that could help direct me how to do this. If it's already covered, sorry for the duplication.
I have a simple (though kludgy) workflow to clear the system clipboard. What I want to do is have the single keyword command execute the system clipboard cleaner and at the same time, the Alfred Clipboard be cleaned as well as part of the workflow.
The existing workflow I have is setup as follows:
Keyword ("clearboard") -> Run Script (echo -n '' | pbcopy) -> Run Script (say "The Mac OS clipboard has now been cleared.") and Post Notification ("The Mac OS clipboard has now been cleared.")
I suspect I can delete the Post Notification without issue.
If you've suggestions on how to do this, thank you.
Cheers,
BlackMacX
NB. I know I barely use Alfred and the Powerpack to anywhere near their fullest capacity; but I like to (as we all do) support excellent software.

I cannot use alfred to call apple's numbers app.
When I ket in numbers, it shows about this mac on alfred.
I have no idea why. Is this a bug ? or ?
I am using the latest version of alfred as well as macOS.
Here are some screenshots:

Hi,
I want to remove certain entries from my command history. I am okay if I have to remove all command history if I have to.
I can't see any way to do this in the app.
I am using Alfred 3.3.2 Build 818.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks

This tutorial is aimed at Alfred 2. Alfred 3 allows you to connect one Script Filter to another, so these workarounds are not necessary. (They might still be interesting, however.) [added 2017-03-20 by deanishe]
Provided below is a workflow that provides a demonstration of how to reuse a single script filter or, how to chain multiple script filters together so that you can create the illusion of having multiple steps or allow you to further refine results from the first script filter, using the second.
Demo 1
This demo shows how you can use AppleScript to call the next step (another script filter) after the first script filter has completed. This could be used to send the value of the first script filter into the second, or, you could just save the values to file and then read them all back in when you are done. This example will save the value to file.
Demo 2
This demo shows how you can reuse a single script filter using autocompletion to separate multiple inputs with a delimiter. When the filter completes, you could then use that delimiter to split the string into its multiple parts. This works really well if your input data is numeric or short strings.
Demo 3
This demo shows how you can reuse a single script filter, with AppleScript to provide multiple inputs/steps to the end user.The data entered by the user is saved to file in each step, then read in and appended together at the end. You could separate the final output with a delimiter and pass it on to something else if you wanted.
There are many ways that this could be customized to your liking. Change the delimiters, how values are passed, etc. This thread is merely meant to provide examples of how this could be accomplished for those interested.

Hello everyone,
is there a way to delete the last Clipboard entry in Alfred?
I'm currently using Keyboard Maestro to select the last word, capitalize it and paste it back. The Problem there is that
it manipulates the Alfred clipboard so that i have the entry twice. Like there stands "test" and "Test". I would like to
delete those.

Hello everyone,
I'm using the "previous path" shortcut several times a day and always have the same issue. Alfred doesn't remember what i used as a filter before
like this:
I use 1702 to filter out a certain date. However when i use the "previous path" shortcut i would like to have the option that Alfred remembers
that i filtered for "1702".
Cheers,
Frozen

Hello everyone,
i more often browser through folders via Alfred and find myself wanting to press ⌘ + A to select all filtered files like in this case:
Just to drag and drop then for instance into a Mail. I know i can use the mail action for that but not when I'm in a Browser or when i want to
just Drag and Drop them quick all together and not one by one. Maybe there is already another way idk but this would be awesome to have.
Cheers,
Frozen

I can't get alfred snippets to work properly with punto switcher.
Prerequisites:
Alfred is on in accessibility
Punto Switcher is on accessibility
The bug:
1. Type word in english
2. Press Punto switcher button to convert last word to other language layout
3. type any alfred snippet shortcode
Expected result: A text snippet is placed
Actual result: My last item from clipboard history is placed
Gif of the bug is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ey0ijpa67gqza1j/snippet bug.gif?dl=0
Please help!
I need alfred snippets and punto switcher to work together!

Alfred is constantly shutting down after I use the "spell" command. With all other commands and tasks it seems to work fine. I currently run Mac OS Sierra build 10.12.3 (16D32).
Has anyone experienced the same issue?

Hello,
I didn't see a workflow for a VPN service client I use called Private Internet Access. So I decided to give it a try.
I'm not sure if there are many people that use this service but I just wanted to share a simple workflow that connects and disconnects the VPN connection using Alfred.
Here's the code/instructions/download:

Hello everyone,
I'm using Alfred at work for different paths on the Server.
I'm doing so via a List Filter that contains all the Paths and passes them to the Action "Browse Alfred".
The Paths look something like this:
"/Volumes/pub/fdw/Project/ProjectNumber/ProjectNumberstuff/3_Electric/03_Konstruction/04_Presentations/"
What I'd like to do is that i browse that path like this:
"/Volumes/pub/fdw/Project/ProjectNumber/ProjectNumberstuff/3_Electric/03_Konstruction/04_Presentations/*1110"
I can create the "*1110" or only "1110" which would be enough via another List Filter selection, but Alfred cannot browse that Folder as
it doesn't exist in that way.
Does anyone have another solution.
P.S.: @Andrew It would be really nice if you could add a way to filder the List Filter in Alfred as its hard to find something with a lot of items.
Cheers,
Frozen

Hey guys, quick question.
Is there any easy way to use an image from a URL as the icon for a script filter?
I've been downloading about 50 compressed thumbnails everytime I use a script I've been writing. (extremely slow)
Do you guys know of any easier way to get images from a URL as a script filter icon?
Thanks

I have a workflow action that searches GitHub.
I call it with Karabiner and as a way of documentation, I show the actions as subtext to the action like so :
If text is large enough, it gets truncated with .... I know I can press a modifier key and hold it and have the text I specify here appear :
However for me I wish I can just show that whole result in Large Type with a hotkey. Right now pressing cmd + l would show what I have typed in the window in large type which I find pretty useless. I wish I can press cmd + l to instead show this result selected in large type. It would be really really useful for me. Can such a thing be done already perhaps?
Thank you for any help.

I love to prefix and lowercase all workflows in Alfred. So for example I prefix my workflows with a: (as can be seen below)
I also like to lowercase all the workflows (my personal preference). I also wish I could prefix other people's workflows according to their category. As I have over 200 workflows and it will ease searching for them greatly.
The problem with this however is that when I update any one of these workflows, which name I changed, it will restore the workflow's name to what the original author had (not lowercase and without my prefix). Would it be possible to add a way to preserve the custom name the users give to the externally downloaded workflows. So if I decide to rename a workflow like so :
And then the author has updated the workflow, I want to get all the changes, but keep the name I gave to the workflow. I think it should be possible as it is only the title. The bundle id will be unique to the author. I doubt many people do decide to change names of workflows when they download them but I really wish to use prefixes and keep my own names of workflows.
I hope you can understand what I mean and this would be possible to do. It would save me a lot of time and would allow me to customise my collection of workflows more nicely.

Hey all and happy new year ?
I've read through this but it doesn't really specify how I can actually do what I want to do.
What I want is to be able to call an Alfred script filter from applescript similar to how I can call Keyboard Maestro macros with this :
osascript -e
tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine"
do script ... -- where the name of the script goes
end tell

I've been writing a lot of workflows lately and its been annoying to have to open aflred right click on a workflow and open either the terminal or finder to it.
Here is my `wfd` and `wft` commands that do just that.
V0.4 - Updated to support non standard workflow directories: Relative Path

I have updated my description of how I use Karabiner in combination with different workflows and keyboard maestro macros. I think it's insanely powerful in combination. Perhaps some will find this idea interesting and would like to implement something like that too on their machines, the only current requirement is being on El Captain as this software is being rewritten for Sierra still and is thus not compatible.
The most amazing thing though is that there really is no longer a barrier to adding a new hotkey. I don't have to twist my hands. I don't have to try and remember the shortcuts as first, I use them daily, and secondly, I can map my hotkeys naturally into their appropriate sections. Ultimately I am always two keypresses away from everything that I can dream of doing.
And if you don't find this idea interesting, you can just see what workflows I personally use and love and there are many of them.
P.S.
I hope it is okay that I share links to the workflows like that, if any author takes offence in how I present this information, I am willing to take down the links.
I am also currently in process of trying to understand how to use either awgo or alfred-workflow library to write a goodreads and quora search with autosuggestions workflows so I hope I can share those some time later.
